Trump‘s plan also calls for an international stabilisation force, and that was core to much of Thursday‘s discussions, including establishing a United Nations mandate for a peacekeeping force, officials said.
Diplomats said a number of countries had expressed interest in taking part, including Indonesia, which was represented on Thursday, but also Italy and Azerbaijan.
The meeting in France involves France, Germany and the UK, known as the E3, plus Spain and is expected to last around two hours.
Representatives from what is known as the Arab Quint are also there – Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan.

“No business as usual with Israel”, demonstrations by Israeli citizens across Europe will be held tomorrow, Tuesday 27, in 12 major cities to demand: “Suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement! Stop Arming Israel!”
According to the initiative, “As Israeli citizens living in Europe, we are watching with broken hearts and endless rage as the Israeli army is exacting unprecedented destruction on the Gaza Strip and its people, as the Israeli society is deteriorating into fascism and widespread dehumanization, and as our government is committing a genocide aimed at the destruction of Palestinian collectivity.”

In addition, from June 12 to 14, 2025, Paris will host an exceptional gathering, held under the patronage and in the presence of the French President Emmanuel Macron. The initiative was started by The Alliance for Two States headed by Palestinian Samer Sinijlawi and Israeli Gershon Baskin.

Israel on Friday conducted drone strikes on a southern Beirut suburb, according to Lebanese official media, shortly after the Israeli military issued an evacuation order. The strike occurred as Lebanese President Joseph Aoun met French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris and is the first such attack since a November ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel.
Prime Minister Gabriel Attal‘s office said such protests would be dealt with using „total rigour“, adding that 23 university sites had been „evacuated“ on Thursday.
Auslöser der Ausschreitungen sind tödliche Schüsse eines Polizisten auf einen Jugendlichen nordafrikanischer Abstammung im Pariser Arbeitervorort Nanterre. Eine Motorradstreife hatte den 17-Jährigen am Dienstagmorgen am Steuer eines Autos gestoppt. Als der junge Mann plötzlich anfuhr, fiel der tödliche Schuss aus der Dienstwaffe des Polizisten.
Police initially reported that one officer shot at the teenager because he was driving his car at him, but this version of events was contradicted by a video circulating on social media and authenticated by AFP.
The footage shows the two policemen standing by the side of the stationary car, with one pointing a weapon at the driver. A voice is heard saying: „You are going to get a bullet in the head.“
The police officer appears to fire at the driver at point-blank range as the car abruptly drives off, advancing a few dozen metres before crashing.
Dear Members of the Assemblée Nationale,
We, the undersigned Members of the European Parliament, are writing to you to express our grave concern about Article 7 of the draft law on the Olympic and Paralympic Games. We warn that if the law is passed in its current form, France would set a surveillance precedent of the kind never before seen in Europe, using the pretext of the Olympic games. Article 7 of the text will provide a legal basis for the use of cameras equipped with algorithms to detect specific suspicious events in the public space.
Das Gesetzesvorhaben würde Polizeibehörden während Sportveranstaltungen ermächtigen, mithilfe von Überwachungskameras und fehleranfälliger künstlicher Intelligenz vermeintlich „anormales“ oder „verdächtiges“ Verhalten automatisiert melden zu lassen. Die Europaabgeordneten warnen vor der lähmenden Wirkung derartiger in Europa bisher ungekannter Massenüberwachung öffentlicher Räume, die einen Präzedenzfall schaffen würde. Zu den Unterzeichnern des offenen Briefs zählen mehrere Verhandlungsführer des geplanten EU-Gesetzes zu künstlicher Intelligenz („Artificial Intelligence Act“), das biometrische Massenüberwachung verbieten soll, darunter Co-Berichterstatter Brando Benifei (sozialdemokratische Fraktion). Zu den deutschen Unterzeichnern gehören Birgit Sippel (SPD), Cornelia Ernst (Linke) und Dr. Patrick Breyer (Piratenpartei).
French President Emmanuel Macron welcomes Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to the Élysée Palace in Paris Wednesday evening. The Ukrainian leader’s visit to France comes hours after he addressed a joint session of the British parliament in London, where he thanked the British people for their support from “day one” of Russia‘s invasion.
In Paris feiern Deutschland und Frankreich das 60-jährige Bestehen des Élysée-Vertrages. Mit ihm war am 22. Januar 1963 das formale Fundament für die deutsch-französische Freundschaft gelegt worden.
Bei den Toten handelt es sich laut dem kurdischen Verband CDK-F um kurdische Aktivisten, unter ihnen eine junge Frau und ein Musiker. Der Verband beschuldigte den türkischen Staat und dessen Präsidenten Recep Tayyip Erdogan, für die Tat verantwortlich zu sein.
Both were referring to the notorious triple murders of three Kurdish women activists almost 10 years ago in the same area of Paris that deeply shook the Kurdish diaspora in France.
In January 2013, three activists from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers‘ Party (PKK), including one of the group‘s founders, were shot dead at a nearby Kurdish centre in what resembled a targeted attack.
A Turkish man was charged with the suspected assassinations afterwards, but he died in custody in 2016 before being tried.
